I have already dexcode the framework-res.apk, the tool which I used is named "apktool".
And I have done it like this,
apktool if framework-res.apk;
apktool if twframework-res.apk;
apktool d framework-res.apk;
There is no any warnings or errors alarm, and out for framework-res directory and resources.
After I modify some part of *.xml, I type
apktool b reamework-res
it got some errors.
Please help me, why that happend?

do a search and check out daneshm90's apk manager, not in this forum but i think it should be in another forum. the latest apk manager 4.9 beta final allows you to modify both pngs, and xmls. just follow his instructions there.
very easy to use. hope this helps.
At the beginning, thank you for your help. I have used the application, that's amazing. But the same thing happend, when I used this application to make the one framework-res.apk(of course I modified the *.xml) and update it to the device. That's so strange.
My step is as below:
Option 10, certainly I unpack the twframework-res.apk without any errors. And then........
Option 11, I coded and repack the framework-res.apk, then type yes with enter twice.
If I do it in the wrong way? Or what's your schedule?

OP, you have problem with twframwork-res.apk OR with framework-res.apk? Both are different...
Did you delete all those files that you have modified in the keep folder? Maybe you can try increasing the heap size to 512 instead of default 64mb.
STK，So I'll try

Is this for bell or att?

Flashing as we speak...
Flash was successful. Default language was set to French. Motoblur register was able to be skipped.
Just trying to root right now.
thgi you are on a bell atrix probably, by the name of the flash file it suggests that its for the bell versions and not for the att versions... what is the kernel and android version tho thgi?
I'm downloading now, just curious as to what it is before I flash.. Tghi, look forward to what this sbf does... and of course if it is for Bell I wouldn't but I figure doesn't hurt to download

Pristine JB All Languages v4.0
Slim version (removed bloatware and some apps) and Full version available
Thread is discontinued. I do not think that there will be updates for TW based Roms on N7000. And I switched to the Nexus 7 2013 LTE and so no more Custom Roms.
Latest Downloads restored (on 16th Nov 2013):
Hotfile: Pristine_XXLC1_v1.0.1 MD5 50964f7909b22d7a1ede92f84d51f8a8
Hotfile: Pristine_XXLT4_v3.0.4_(Slim) MD5 034942a9b5f2d97e48125a97086cf02b
-- Benefits of Slim Pristine ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rom is deodexed, zipaligned and rooted (PhilZ Kernel) like usual and was cooked using my tutorial in Post 2.
I removed all bloatware and many apps I do not use or do not like.
Because of this I assume (and I feel) that this results in a fast (at least for a TW based JB), stable Rom. Because of the reduced number of running apps and services you even might have better battery life - but there is no reliable proof for this - it seems only logical. So when I apply a mod/fix/tweak I will only use them if there is no risk for an impact on speed or stability.
What is different or new?
1. I extended the "All languages" by Hebrew. For this I added resources from JB stock for other Samsung devices. Resulted in quite some errors that couldn't be solved by the batches I use but simply by checking it with my own hands.
You can switch to hebrew now - but as told before - you'll need a different keyboard until I found the remaining error.
Everything else works with this language - one exception: gallery - but I assume this is acceptable
2. Of course all the old languages (see the list in OP) are still inside.
3. I release the Slim version first.
4. I removed SamsungChinese_IME_HKTW.apk. So the unsolved error when making a clean install and starting the Rom isn't active anymore. Same as above: have to search for the cause of the error.
5. I didn't add my "android.policy.jar" as workaround for my IMEI problem. Now the Rom contains always the "original" one from XXLT5. I made a CWM-installable zip for me that replaces the android.policy.jar and so I get the SIM Pin dialog and lockscreen etc.
Fixpack 1 v4.0
I replaced Keyboard and File Manager with the apk from my old version 3.2 which didn't contain Hebrew (but of course all other languages). The problems reported by the members (Thanks again) should be solved - at least on my device they are.
Replaced APK: SamsungIME.apk and SecNoteMyFiles.apk
Modpack 1 v4.0
My first three small tweaks I wanted to have without any impact on stability or performance:
- TW Launcher with 7x7 icons (slightly reduced icon size), I like that very much, because TW Launcher is fast and I can use AccuWeather now (in Nova Launcher not possible). And now I understand the structure of the system apk in res folder much better.
- Kmokhtar's theme (but without the additional buttons on top), I like the style of his theme
Modded APK: SecLauncher2.apk and for the theme FlashbarService.apk, SecContacts.apk, SecPhone.apk, SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk
Next steps: Don't know, will have to read and search a bit for more Tweaks I like

Introduction
When I got the OTA update to XXSLC I had the idea (no wonder) to make a usable Custom Rom (from now abbreviated to CR) out of it.
But how to do this?
I could've asked for help and a step by step tutorial - PM to some developers or cookers are great - or I could search XDA and try one of the many solutions written down somewhere.
In the IT world I prefer the last one, but I wanted an easy way: a kitchen. Why should I reinvent everything from scratch? Good for my ego, bad for my family.
With the XXLC dump this changed again and with the information that dsixda's Android Kitchen (I call it dAK from here) now will work with the N7000 I was curious again.
And after that I used the tutorial for cooking my Custom Roms from the official JB releases.
Limitations
No branches and options how to do something in different ways will be here - only the one-way-street I use. If you want other options you have to do it yourself and read the original threads with detailed descriptions.
I will not make snapshots for every button press or action - in the beginning I will not make even one of it. Later may be where really necessary.
I try to speak "plain english" - normally I speak "Thai english" - so please do not wonder if I use very simple language - I'm used to it and I didn't study in Oxford or Cambridge.
All steps and explanations are written in detail in the originals or on the web sites. Here you see only what you really need, without telling every "interesting" detail.
Working in Cygwin means you are using Linux, I will not explain all commands I use (like cd, ls, pwd etc.). It's not important here (it's fine to know), only using the kitchen is relevant.
What do we need? Downloads first
Windows 7 or 8: I did it on the new Windows 8, so 7 should be ok. No Linux, no XP, no Vista, no Apple
dsixda's Android Kitchen - download latest version (0.223_rev9)
Latest JDK from Oracle - important: not only the runtime but the "Java SE Development Kit 7" for Windows 86. It is the 32 bit version - I have a 64 Bit Win but using Java with 64 makes you crazy.
Customized version of Cygwin - dsixda made this, so no need to really work with the cygwin configuration from scratch.
DiskInternal's Linux Reader (as a tool included in the kitchen. But you have to install it anyway - and it's not nice when you discover this while in the script. So I used the latest version 1.6.4.0 and place it here.
A good editor: I use Notepad++. Latest Version (v6.2.2)
And: the zip with the official Android release from Samsung (JB at the moment)
latest Philz Kernel for your release (or your Custom Rom will not boot). Get the zImage from the zip.
How to prepare everything? Installation instructions
Do not change the order please, especially: JDK first, Cygwin after!
Install the JDK, Defaults ok, no more to explain
Install the Custom Cygwin from dsixda
Unzip to a temporary installation directory (e.g. c:\dsixda_cygwin_install)
Run Setup.exe
Select "Install from Local Directory"!
Use "C:\Cygwin" or any other folder, but NO SPACES in the name!
In window "Select Local Package Directory" change path so that it ends with: "\cygwin_packages"
In window "Select Packages" you have to change the first line in the list by clicking the arrows. It will change to "All <-> Install"
Click on "Next", installation runs and you should make a desktop shortcut.
After finishing the installation, start it (desktop shortcut) - this initializes the Cygwin environment
Install the Kitchen
In the Cygwin directory go to folder "home/[your home directory] - in my case it would be "ThaiDai". Create a folder "kitchen". Result should be: "C:\Cygwin\home\[your home directory]\kitchen
From the kitchen zip extract the content of folder "Android-Kitchen-0.223-rev9" into the folder "kitchen". In kitchen folder you will find a file "menu".
Start Cygwin (desktop icon).
type "cd kitchen"
type "./menu". The kitchen should start and you will see the "MAIN MENU".
type "x" to exit the kitchen and then "exit" to close Cygwin.
Reading and unpacking the Images
Unzip the downloaded JB release. Inside you will find a "tar"-file (this is a linux archive). You have to unpack this one too. Inside there are (for the Note): zImage, cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img and modem.bin.
factoryfs.img - this /system
cache.img - containing CSCs (for your country specific settings, providers, apps, languages etc.)
hidden.img - the /preload partition with more apps, important now because a nice way to save space in /system
modem.bin - radio
zImage - not the kernel from the dump but Philz Kernel for your release (or your Custom Rom will not boot). Get the zImage from the zip.
Start the kitchen (Cygwin Icon, cd kitchen, ./menu) as Administrator (then you won't get warnings/errors later in the process)
Type "1", "Enter", "Enter". dAK should show you the "Available ROMs"
Type "1", "Enter" and select the dumped files. You'll see a Note telling you why a rooted kernel is important (we have Philz)
I want to change the name of the "working folder", so I press "y", "Enter" and change the name to "WORKING_THAIDAI". Choose your own folder name or don't change (not change the WORKING_ part, only the part after this!)
dAK will copy zImage and then compiles "simg2img" which it will use for converting the .img-files in a usable format
External Tool "Ext2explore" opens and in the Terminal you get infos what to do. So slowly now and read.
In the "Ext2Explore" choose menu entry "File"-"Open Image". Go to your working directory ("Working_...") and open folder "system". Select "ext4_factoryfs.img" (maybe you do not see the extension) and open it.
Right-Click the first entry in the left window and press "Save". Important: in the dialog switch and select folder "system" again. After pressing "OK", wait until the copy-process is finished. Close "Ext2Explore" and switch back to the terminal window. If you read there you can control again if you did what I wrote here.
Press "Enter"
Now the same as before for hidden.img. Tool "Ext2explore" opens, select "ext4_hidden.img" in folder "hidden", right-click and "Save" it to "hidden" folder (not to "system"!), wait until copy finishes and close "Ext2Explore".
Press "Enter"
You'll get some information about the /preload and that the kitchen will handle this automatically.
Press "Enter"
Now you get the offer to extract the Customer Software Customization (CSC) from cache.img. Press "Enter" (default is y)
And again you'll have to use an external tool - how to use is written down exactly. So please read it and follow the 7 steps (explained here of course)
Start Linux Reader and select in menu "Drives" - "Mount Image".
If not selected please choose "Raw Disk Images" and press "Next".
There you have to switch to your working folder in the kitchen until "system". Select "ext4_cache.img". Open it.
Marked in red you'll see a Hard disk drive called "Linux Ext Volume 1" (or "Linux native Volume 1). Double click it (open it). And again double click on the folder "recovery". You see the "sec_csc-zip".
Mark it and right click the "sec_csc.zip" and select "Save Files" and press "Next".
Uncheck "Save directory structure" and change "Output folder" to the "system"-folder in your working directory. ATTENTION: Linux Reader remembers old entries, so there might be the system folder of an old working directory with another name. Please always check the correct folder or the CSC isn't extracted into your actual working directory (I hate this part, because this happened right now when I wrote these lines).
After you selected the system folder press "Next" two times and close the Linux Reader program.
Switch back to your kitchen window and press "Enter". The kitchen will extract the content of sec_csc.zip
When asking to copy the apps to your working folder do NOT choose the default. Switch to "y" and "Enter" because we want to use CSC.
In the line "Add boot.img (y/n)?. Choose "y", "Enter"
After that dAK takes care of symbolic links, update-script etc. and ends with the information "Finished setting up working folder!"
Type "y", "Enter" to view the Rom infos. After a while you get a list of information. Entries will change with the next steps
Press "Enter"
Rooting and deodexing
Use menu options "2 - Add root permissions" and choose option "c" for "Chainfire's SuperSU" there. Press "Enter" until you see the menu again.
Use "3" for "BusyBox". Confirm with the default "y". Press "Enter" two times.
Very important now for your ego: change the name of the Rom after typing "7", "Enter". I will do this for example like: "Pristine ThaiDai bla bla". After changing press "Enter" two times.
If you want to change your radio you have to copy "modem.bin" from the folder "original_update" to the folder "system" in your working directory (of course outside of the kitchen).
ATTENTION: this isn't normally necessary. A user should choose the modem for his region, so it isn't a good idea to add a specific modem to your Custom Rom (I made that mistake in my first Roms).
Again type "8" for updated working folder information. It changed because you choose different options. Press "Enter" to go back to the main menu.
Type "0", "Enter" for the advanced options.11
Type "11", "Enter" and read the informations and how many odexed files are found
WARNING: You have to change the default API Level from 17 to 16 for building a 4.1.2 Custom Rom. So press "v", "Enter" and change API Level to 16.
The kitchen offers to temporarily move the apps from /preload to /system, so it can deodex them. So please choose the default "y". "Enter". The kitchen will move them back later.
WARNING: Some folder inside of "csc" contain apps with a size of exactly zero bytes (0 bytes). You have to delete them first or you'll get errors when deodexing. If this happens no problem: delete the "0"-byte-files and deodex with again. This error can happen later again when zipaligning the apk (0 bytes are already zipaligned perfectly).
Type "b", "Enter" and start deodexing all apks (now time for a good coffee), accept logging default with "y".
After deodexing 44+137 (in my case) you press "Enter" and can read the results in the generated log
Building your Rom
Optional: Select "13" and/or "14" if you want to add /data/app or /etc-init.d functionality/script support to your Custom Rom - I don't need it.
in ADVANCED OPTIONS type "0", "Enter" and go back to Main Menu
Choose "99" for building your Custom Rom
Confirm default "1" with pressing "Enter". It is an interactive mode and guided. It gives you the opportunity to add your own "updater-script" (I always do) to the Custom Rom .
Confirm question to optimize and zipalign the APKs with "Enter".
After zipaligning the "updater-script" is generated. dAK ask if it should "Proceed with the change (y/n)". Here you can copy your own "updater-script" to the folder "^META-INF/com/google/android".
The kitchen continues with building the "update.zip". Wait a while and it wants to sign your Rom. Of course use the default "y" and press "Enter".
And finally rename your Custom Rom if you want, should be easy to do.
Your new Custom Rom will be in the folder "OUTPUT_ZIP" and you can install it on your Note.

MD5 is part of the filename - easiest way to compare. But I added it to the first post. Thanks
Installed smoothly. Everything seems fine, but the task killer is gone and touchwiz crashes if i try to set the city for the weather widget.

I will add the list of deleted apk later in the OP, maybe there's something deleted what is needed for this. We'll see.
But thanks for your reply here: so I can be sure the torrent and the Rom are ok.

Flash and installation was smooth. Multi windows and air view seems not working. Very limited needful appns are only included but that is ok. Needs lot of mods.
